Cost of Services

The assessment and screening services are specifically for adults (18+) who believe they may have ADHD or Autism. We offer two (2) options for those seeking validation of their neurodivergence.

  

Option 1: Neurodivergence Screening (“Neuro Screening”) 

Cost: $350 | Time: 90 minutes | Service: No diagnosis provided 

• The screening consists of questions regarding your traits, history, and challenges only in relation to ADHD and autism.

• A quick review of your information is compared to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. 

• There is typically no waiting time for the screening report. 

• We will discuss findings and advise whether continuing with the diagnostic assessment (Option 2) is warranted. 

Option 2: Diagnostic Clinical Assessment

Cost: $850 | Time: 180 minutes in interview + 30-minute follow-up session | Service: Formal diagnosis and recommendations provided| Tool: Cherry Adult ADHD-Autism Diagnostic Interview (Cherry AADI)

• Developed by Lindley Cherry, LCMHC, QS, NCC, the Cherry Adult ADHD-Autism Diagnostic Interview is a clinical assessment method designed specifically for identifying ADHD, autism, and co-occurring presentations (AuDHD) in adults.

• Key Features:

  • Adult-Centered Approach: Unlike tools designed for children and adapted for adults, the Cherry AADI was created specifically for adult presentations, accounting for developmental masking, compensatory strategies, and life experience factors.

  • Culturally Responsive: Incorporates systematic consideration of cultural, gender, and identity factors that influence neurodivergent presentation and recognition.

  • Strengths-Based: Emphasizes individual neurological profiles and environmental fit rather than deficit-focused assessment.

  • Comprehensive Scope: Addresses not only core diagnostic criteria but also masking behaviors, sensory processing differences, and pathological demand avoidance patterns.

• Fee covers the time taken for assessment interview, all additional time spent completing documentation or related tasks, and follow-up session. Payment plans are available.

• A thorough review of your information is cross-examined with common misdiagnoses then compared to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. 

• A comprehensive diagnostic report based on the data acquired during the assessment process is completed and a copy provided to you.  

• The wait time for the diagnostic report ranges from only 2 – 4 weeks.  

• At the follow-up session, we will discuss our findings and provide a copy of the assessment for you to review and take with you.  

• This assessment can be opted out of personal records.

This 2-part system allows you to receive services at a speed that is comfortable for you. It also allows you to divide the cost over time. If your screening indicates that continuing with the diagnosis is not warranted, or the screening is sufficient to satisfy your needs, you do not have to spend any additional time or money completing the comprehensive assessment.
